You're Only as Sick as Your Secrets - What happened?
I enjoyed the first "blog entry," but this failed to excite or enthrall me. The story wasn't that interesting, and it's supposed to be a blog, but after the first few installments you become increasingly aware that it's the author's voice not the character.
You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover - An exciting read
I couldn't wait for the conclusion of this short story. Although the writing waxes and wanes, it was still an interesting little story. I look forward to reading more about Jane Perry.
Who is Mark Twain? - Diverse selection of Twain's work
I haven’t read that much of his work besides what was required of me in school, but I enjoyed this small anthology of Twain’s previously unpublished works. There’s a good variety of essays and short fiction on diverse subjects.
Some of the essays were over my head, but entertaining nonetheless. If you can get past the first short story then you’ll be golden, it gets better after that.
